Hi Guys Here is another addition to the collection which arrived a few weeks ago. It's a 1965 Wilkins Servis automatic based on a UK design. The machine is in working order but does need some holes in the outer tub patched up before putting it through a complete cycle. The owner still had the original instruction manual in excellent condition. Cheers Leon |

Hey Ash, Thanks. I didn't exactly say that i was no longer looking for any more machines, just that what is arriving are the machines that i needed to arrange transport from last year. So yes, i still want the Fabulous 89, plus a couple others! Currently, with what will be arriving soon, the collection stands at 23. Cheers Leon |

Hi Leon, just thought i would say hi from over the pond..luv your latest addition !! which is the equivalent, to our Mark42, Wilkins Servis was slightly more ahead of us in design, as in 1965 in the UK we would have still had the Mark 38, which had a totally different control panel (pic attached) I did notice that your machine had some thing that the uk machines never had, well to my knowledge anyway, it is a "soap dispenser" cover..never seen this on any UK servis top loader's.. would be nice to have your two Servis top loaders side-by-side.
